It draws on three phases of research in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, focusing initially on South Africa, Nigeria, (Africa), Sri Lanka and India (Asia) and Peru and Colombia (Latin America), with later rounds incorporating findings gathered in other countries in the three regions. The first and second phases of the research set out to understand the status and potential role of digitalization and datafication in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic.Item Open Access Samurdhi banks should not have monopoly on distributing welfare benefits(2022-10) Hurulle, GayaniThis brief article discusses the disbursement mechanism and the distribution of welfare benefits by Samurdhi banks. It emphasizes the need to not become over-reliant on Samurdhi banks, whose systemic flaws such as politicization have been well-documented, and the need to focus on making the process more transparent.Item Open Access Modèle d’intervention liberté et respect mis en œuvre dans la région du Haut Sassandra en 2022(2023) Blibolo, Auguste DidierItem Open Access Impact de la COVID-19 au Sénégal : un état des lieux(2020-12) Ahoure, AlbanItem Open Access Item Open Access Item Open Access Supporting resilience of vulnerable youth in urban Côte d’Ivoire amidst the COVID-19 pandemic : evidence from a randomized control trial(2023-10) Kimou, Assi J.C; Ahoure, Alban; Becho, Isabelle; Djebbari, Habiba; Gabehi, SergeIn the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, state responses have included reactivating protective systems to mitigate the vulnerability of the poor. While the evidence for these systems in normal times is well established in the literature, there is paucity of evidence on their effects on households during the pandemic. This paper explores the impact of an improved post-COVID-19 adaptation and recovery scheme on marginalized youth. Specifically, we test whether the combination of cash transfers, business literacy, and soft skills (a replication of government intervention) leads to increased mitigation of the adverse effect the health shock and reshapes resilience. We use a randomized controlled trial of 265 at-risk youth, in which 130 are randomly assigned to the above-mentioned treatment and 135 others are in the control group. Our results suggest that a combination of business training for youth and unconditional cash transfers may increase the chances of adapting to unexpected situations. We found that food consumption increased by 38.6 percentage points and non-food expenditures by 38.9 percentage points. The program also improved the likelihood of being able to run a microbusiness by 18.5 percentage points. Further results show that the program can lead to a reduction in misperceptions about COVID-19. These results call for an integrated approach to address resilience of marginalized groups during an exogenous shock.Item Open Access
